#I am still baffled that the Arachno Arsonist is not a Halloween cosmetic

[garshroom]

So I've picked up Engineer as a class to learn and I've realized a few common threads as to why I like playing him, Spy, and Pyro

1) For the most part, getting better at these classes requires more knowledge to get better rather than improving reflexes and having godly aim

I know there's the guns but the core mechanics of each class (buildings, sneaky stabby, and lighting things on fire) improve when you've learned more about the mechanics of how each work and it could be argued that once you learn these (+ some game sense) you get up to a playable level with each of them.

1.5) None of these classes have to have really good aim to be effective

Piggybacking off the last point, not one of these classes absolutely has to have really good aim to be good. Engie's got a built in aim bot, most of my (and I'm betting a lot of others') Spy frags are back stabs (I don't care for the Ambassador, sue me), and Pyro is, well, Pyro and most of their kit doesn't require perfect aim (e.g. the Scorch Shot). I could stand to think more about how hit boxes work with lag and I could definitely do better if I land more of my shotgun and revolver shots, but I don't have to down a Gamer Supps and activate MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE in my brain to get a couple kills as these classes.

2.) Each of these classes don't have to interact with the frontline if I don't want to and still be helpful.

I will be the first to admit, I am fairly dog shit when it comes to the large skirmishes that make up the front line and pretty crap at most 1v1s outside of my main 3 compared to a lot of other players. This is mainly due to my 8GB of mental ram making it hard for me to keep track of everything everywhere all at once and processing what color that random player is that ends up deleting me. So instead I can either just build a nest as Engie (I know that's it's own management thing but my brain has it grouped as one task), fuck with the enemy back lines as Spy, and bodyguard my choice of an engie nest or the nearest Medic combo (when it's a Heavy/Medic combo I just think of it as an Engie nest with legs).
